Finally, I will ask for the permit to be issued tomorrow, and follow- up with Gary to get whatever outstanding comments to you. I figure we can work through the engineering issues concurrent with construction. From: Charlie Frankenberger [mailto:chalie@NF-LAW.COM] Sent: Tue 8/22/2006 5:05 PM To: Hollibaugh, Mike P Subject: Fidelity on Meridian--docket nos. 05040003 DP/ADLS, 05040004 ZW, 0504005 ZW, and Variances 05050037 thru 42 Hi Mike, I have a couple of questions, but first I need to relay to you the following context. Approvals were obtained on 6/25/05 and, because construction had not commenced, John Robinson requested and you granted a 6 month extension. Since then, the existing Sunrise building was demolished, but the construction contractor, Zeller Construction and Development (Bruce Zeller), has been delayed in obtaining a building permit. John Robinson relays to me that the delay is caused by the disappearance of their I architect/owner's representative. Apparently, after the DP/ADLS, zoning waivers, and developmental variances were obtained, the architect/owner's rep left for a job in Chicago and "dropped the ball". This was not ' discovered until Bruce Zeller became involved and attempted 10 obtain a building permit, only to learn that there were many outstanding technical/construction matters. Bruce has succeeded in clearing most of these issues, but has been waiting for communication from the engineering department. My questions are twofold. First, I wanted to confirm with you that the demolition of the building, and the subsequent attempts to obtain a building permit, constitute the commencement of continuous construction, obviating the need for another ex1ension; if not, we may need to ask the BZA for a variance extending the time. Please let me know. Once the building permit is obtained, they will immediately continue with the physical process of development and building. They are very anxious to get going, and somewhat distraught over the situation. Second, I wanted to know whether you thought there was anything we might diplomatically do to get feedback from the engineering department. I could call and inquire, but I know that they are very busy, making prompt t replies somewhat difficult. Perhaps we could be placed on the T AC agenda for 9/20, but they really do not want to wait that long. I am just brain stormlng--they are very anxious to get this redevelopment completed. ' Any thoughts you may have would be helpful. Thanks. 8/28/2006 Page 1 of1 Lillard, Sarah N From: Brewer, Scott I Sent: Wednesday, August 23, 2006 2:40 PM To: 'Charlie Frankenberger' Cc: Hollibaugh, Mike P; Griffin, Matt L; Lillard, Sarah N Subject: Fidelity Charlie: I talked to Bruce Zeller the builder for Fidelity this afternoon.
